To the Editor Of the Tribune:
In last Sundays issue OF your VALUABLE

sealskin garments would commence on Mon
day, September s. and we are very muo"
pleased with the results
number of ladies said they saw the an
nounccment in The Tribune, and although
Tho weather has been warm during the
mast week the sale has been an extraordinary
success.
NETWORK LADIES
are the best judges OF values In the ~orio'
and they only require to see the article 70
know whether it is
REALLY A BARGAIN.
Tho fact that the SEALSKIN GARMENTS
and furs manufactured by c. G. sHAfNE
have a worldwide reputation for STYLE III
and quality. and that every garment is reliable
is q special attraction, and the low prices 1or
such elegant goods induces many to make de-
nos;ts in order to secure the garment when
they merely call to see the goods.
MANY ladies who purchased sealskin garments
during the past week are old customers who
had purchased sealskins ten years ago. IL Is
a pleasure to do business with old customers
They have the utmost
CONFIDENCE IN OUR HOUSE,
and we are pleased to give them reliable ana
elegant Furs at bargains indeed.
Several merchants called during the pas'
week and asked the question Why do you sell
such magnificent sealskin garments az re'''ii
Of s,cb low prices One, dealer in furs and
sealskins said the prices were lower than the
roonlar wholesale prices Of the Market ana
that tho goods were the best in the marAe''
md wished to know what our object was. OUR
reply was that we intended to do str'c'ly
cash business; that we preferred to 90 pus'-
ness direct with the people, and that in order
20 attract the public we would sell Furs at
retail at lowest cash wholesale prices during
the month of September as an advertisement
We claim that the best advertisement Is

will induce them to come to our store, and In
this way we will secure the very best kind OF
an advertisement-the good will OF the ladies'
They are a greater power than the news
napers or the merchants. for they control US all
IT WAS OUR INTENTION
to open a branch store uptown the coming
season, and made preparations accordingly
We manufactured over one hundred Thousand
dollars worth of goods especially for the brancl
store, but We found in looking for suitable
store on the regular retail streets that rents
were so very high that VIC could not sell ou
furs unless we charged from 10 to 20 per cent
more than we charge ON Prince-st., where rem
is cheap.
We have decided therefore to abandon the
idea of opening an uptown store, and Will sci
our furs and sealskins at the old stand, To-
Prince-st., where we
MANUFACTURE WHOLESALE AND RE
TAIL
under one roof, with small expenses, ant
where we are enabled to sell the best frs II
the world at the lowest possible prices.
We admit that Prince-st. is little out
the way Of the regular shopping thorough
fares, but we have large
FIVE STORY BUILDING.
with splendid light for manufacturing, at
| very low rent, so that we are enabled to sci
reliable and elegant furs and sealskins at lowe
prices than dealers who pay high rents ant
have large expenses, and any lady OF GOO
sense will 90 out of her way to save $25
$50 on n sealskin garment, and this she cal
save by dealing with us.
The extra expense of the uptown store vii
be divided among our customers during tn
great September sale, which was commence
last Monday. This will be the greatest ad
